suggestion - on these types of pages, it would be nice to be able to cursor over the words and hear the russian pronunciation. (sometimes the words are new to us.)
The course creators don't have influence on that. It's better to generally address it in the general forums Duolingo for English speakers. Good idea though.
Is that where I'd also go to request they add speech practice? I really liked that in French, and I think my Russian could benefit from it also.
Am I correct in assuming that one uses пьёт when talking in the third person and пьёшь when talking in the second person?
Yes correct, and " пьёте " when talking to plural or official You, and " пьют " when talking about " They "
The recording of молоко has the stress on the first syllable, but it should be on the last
One of the offered choices is "да, она пьёт пьёт" and aside from being hilarious, how would I say "she (v)drinks (n)drinks"? Is that grammatically correct, or is "(n)drinks" a different word? (I know English likes to make verbs into nouns a lot.)
- Пьёт is for 3rd person. i.e: he, she, it
- пьёшь - is for 2nd person, i.e: "You drink water" » "Ты пьёшь воду."
You should be allowed to talk into your phone. I learn Russian because my bf is Russian and i need to text him because i live in New York and lives in Russia. But i am better at speaking the language than writing it though.
I doubt duolingo would add this option to Russian. You have bf? Talk to him on discord or skype in Russian and let him correct you
